Very nice, I'm loving those glitchy tones running over the track, very similar to Twisted System in some ways. Hmm, those bassline transitions don't sound natural, they sound like you really can't make up your mind what you want the overall tone of the track should be. In the case of a track like this, You should aim to keep a consistent bass note, as that's the melodic content that the rest of the track revolves around. With the rest of the track being atonal glitch noises, you should really try to either keep as pulsing same note, or at least make the transitions sound more natural. Though I've got to be honest, there isn't a bad section on this track. Your problem is those transition, every time they come along it feels like you're yanking the carpet out from under from the groove. Ohh, that section with the glitches being incorporated into the drumline doesn't work at all. My recommendation would be to drop that section entirely, and keep your bassline on the same note at all times. Do those, and you'll have a stonking psy track.

First impressions, that intro isn't as good as you think it is. I know that psy has this whole thing about intro's of insane length, but nothing much happens for a solid fifty five seconds until the beat kicks in. Mind you, when the beat does, it's got a kicking beat to it, very nice. But that lead is very cheesy, sounds like it stepped off an early nineties synthisiser, and not in a good way. The gated lead that comes in is a good way towards redeeming it, this is a much nicer sound, one that you should do more with. We're slowly getting somewhere as the music builds in intensity up to the breakdown, and now the intro pads re enter, and are much more welcome. There's a very definate sense of growing drama as the beat comes back in. This is what your intro should have felt like. Ah, and you've brought that cheesy synth back. I would strongly reconsider using this sound again. It just makes your track sound old fashioned. But bar the cheese lead and the overlong intro, a good track over all.

I quite like this. Compositionally, it's all there, that acid line is all over the place, and takes a little while to start working well, but when it does, it really works. The two recommendations I would make to you in the future are purely production based. That snare sound is a little to dry, consider filtering it and adding a light reverb. The hi hat sound is fine, but is placed a little prominently in the mix, try taking it back a little. If that doesn't work out, then try a very light filter to take out some of the higher frequencies. Also, that ride cymbol that you're using on accents doesn't really work. It's a very real and naturalistic sounding tone, and doesn't fit with the obviously electronic drum track.
